I'll start with an appropriate AAAARRRGGGHH. ...much better


I've changed the washer bottle motor and still no joy on any sign of water on the windscreen or even a noise when I press the button on the righ hand arm.

Any ideas, fuse? Something in line been unplugged?

I'm on my knees (literally)

No noise from the new motor at all? Must be electrical.

Check fuse first of all. Then (with power off) do a continuity measurement from each pin down to ground, can't remember th colours, but one pin should be zero (ish) ohms to chassis. If not, then you have a bad earth, probably the one just behind the radiator on the front left on the crumple section.

If not that, suspect dodgy stalk switch, which can be tested and sometimes repaired....
....its also worth checking the washer bottle tube isn't trapped between the bottle and the fibreglass inner body....it can happen...
